And you can quote a dozen studies that have found no connection between the two, it doesn't matter.

I would be surprised if the empirical evidence suggested no link between the two, although I would be more inclined to think that porn might exacerbate existing problems, rather than turn men into rapists.

Which young men are these? Would it happen to be the small minority who actually carry out these awful crimes as opposed to the majority of male population who would be as disgusted as anyone with these acts? Generalisations help nobody as you well know.

And how did you even come to the conclusion that even a rapist assumes that rape is a casual act with no consequences? I've never heard such a thing.

Sexual assault is ridiculously common. Almost every woman I have ever asked has said they have been sexually assaulted in some respect at one stage. Trying to paint this as a small minority is another example of brushing the problem under the carpet. This issue needs to be addressed.

I would be surprised if the empirical evidence suggested no link between the two, although I would be more inclined to think that porn might exacerbate existing problems, rather than turn men into rapists.

I'd agree. Men with a propensity for rape suffer from either a lifelong inferiority complex or a superiority complex with sociopathic undertones.
